About This Place

Located at 244 James St N in Hamilton, Charred Rotisserie House stands out as a premier destination for lovers of expertly crafted chicken dishes and vibrant, fresh flavours. Specializing in succulent rotisserie chicken with a bold BBQ twist, this restaurant offers an array of mouth-watering choices that go far beyond the ordinary.

From the very first bite of their signature Brisket Sandwich — slow-cooked, tender brisket paired with aged cheddar, homemade piri piri mayo, and fresh cilantro, nestled in a freshly baked Portuguese bun — you’ll immediately notice the depth of flavour and care in every ingredient. The menu also boasts favourites like the BBQ Chicken, where juicy, char-grilled poultry delivers a smoky richness, perfectly complemented by sides such as crisp Roasted Potatoes, refreshing Caesar Salads, and golden Fresh Cut Fries. For those seeking something a little lighter or vegetarian, the Grilled Veggie Wrap is a fresh and satisfying choice bursting with seasonal produce and balanced textures.

The attention to detail truly shines through in the beloved Piri Piri Chicken Noodle Soup, where fragrant cilantro lifts the spicy, comforting broth — a genuine treat, especially on cooler days. And dessert lovers won’t want to miss their delightful offerings like the White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake or the decadent Cherry Whiskey Cheesecake, each crafted with luscious textures and layered tastes that make every meal end on a high note.

Customers repeatedly praise not only the food but also the inviting atmosphere at Charred Rotisserie House. Laird, a long-time patron, speaks warmly about the “super nice” vibe, especially during the summer months when friends gather to enjoy good company alongside fantastic food. Cy Anne highlights the clean, welcoming environment and exceptional service, noting that the portions are generous enough to leave guests with leftovers — a rare find for quality fare. Regulars like Lorne Ryder come back for the consistency: fresh, authentic chicken sandwiches paired with that unmistakably addictive piri piri mayo that elevates every bite.

Whether you're stopping by for a cozy dinner or looking to cater a special gathering, Charred’s team goes above and beyond. Rachelle Joy Arquero shares how their catering service left a lasting impression on her company event, with personalized tastings and attentive accommodation by staff, ensuring every dish met high expectations.

The combination of warm hospitality, vibrant flavours, and meticulously prepared dishes makes Charred Rotisserie House a true gem in Hamilton’s culinary scene. It's a place where each meal feels thoughtfully crafted — satisfying cravings, encouraging shared moments, and inviting you to discover new favourites with every visit.

    I’ve been going to Charred for a long time now, and it’s definitely one of my favourite chicken places in Hamilton. I love the way they split and grill the chicken. The environment is super nice, especially in the summer, and I frequently bring friends here.

    We were in Hamilton for the day and decided to stop in to this place for a late lunch. We had very friendly staff. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was nice. We ordered a full chicken with 3 sides and tried the brisket poutine. Four of us were stuffed and we had leftovers!! A definite gem in Hamilton :) Flavours were fantastic.

    The chicken sandwich and chicken wrap were always great. Very tasty and love the piri piri mayo. The service has always been fast and polite. One of my favourite places to get a chicken sandwich. No pricier than other places, the chicken is always fresh and real..

    Went here for an early dinner about a month ago, really nice place. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere in the restaurant was quiet, inviting, and cozy. I ordered a ceasar salad which was delicious and made perfect. I also ordered a chicken wrap & fries and gravy. The Fries were nice and crispy, the gravy delicious, the wrap was a nice size only thing I didn't think it would of came with dark meat usually every place I go has white meat in the wrap like chicken breast, I'm not a fan of dark meat so it was kinda a disappointment but it was still tasty and made good. The waitress was very kind, friendly, attentive. I would go back here again and try out a few other items on the menu.

    The only problem I got is I can only give 5 stars! Charred catered our company gathering and everyone was surprised and satisfied with the food. Mr. Mark accommodated me and let me tasted all the foods before I ordered for our gathering. All the best, will dine in soon with my husband! Thank you so much, Charred. Forgot to take a picture

    ok so I finally found Real poutine in Ontario. I'm originally from Montreal area so grew up with real poutine. Ordered the poutine it is awesome. it's what a poutine should be the cheese is real Quebec cheese curds. OMG a poutine where they got the sauce spot on. Not only best poutine in Ontario but a really good poutine even if it was in Quebec. Ok so I ordered brisket poutine yeah don't do that it's insanely expensive for the amount of brisket you get just go reg or bacon if you want meat. it gets loud in there when it gets crowded. we ordered cheese cake for dessert sure it was good but she only brought us 1 piece with 2 spoons but when we saw how small it was we went good thing we only got one because $9 for something that small is nuts. but it was good. this will be my go to poutine place from now on.

    Surprised they don't have higher reviews. Service was really nice, and quick! Food was really tasty. We got the half chicken. Extra spicy sauce was great. Mild was a bit bland but that's what mild is I guess.

    The chicken was so dry it had a grainy texture between your teeth. It even had a gamey taste, like like was just barely expired. Service and atmosphere were fine. The waitress was friendly and attentive. My partner and I split a chicken poutine. I had a beer, and she had a cider. The bill was 52 dollars. We felt ripped off and that we wasted our 1 night a week we can afford to go out and share a dinner.
